Two days into the trip it had already occurred to me that tears will be shed by the end of this whole adventure. I am absolutely in LOVE with my host family which consists of 2 adorable little girls one in 4th grade, Florencia, and the other in 2nd grade, Josephina, as well as an 8th grade boy, Gaspar, aka my translator… and two wonderfully kind parents! Josephina and Florencia are both extremely goofy and sarcastic which makes them perfect for me..
The second day that we were here, my family along with Bianca's host family had a barbecue which was so much fun. It lasted from about 2:00 until about 6:45pm so naturally, Bianca and I were unsure of whether this was lunch or dinner, but we found out soon enough when we ate again at 10:30 which was "real dinner".
Tears were (almost) shed by the beautifully breathtaking views i have already witnessed at San Cristobal Hill as well as at the ports, beaches, and various amounts of artwork all over Valparaiso. The students at Southern Cross are so bright and fun to be around and they all know an impressive amount of english. The energy and excitement that they have every time they are learning a new lesson makes me more and more enthusiastic about teaching. I am extremely excited to see what the rest of the trip has in store for me! Ciao for now :)
